Fans are irritated with fish.

He's not incredible just an above-average player being paid like he's another T.O.and you’ve looked foolish for two years. coops been nothing short of incredible here. wake me up when we should be paying any attn to the raiders or their fans.
Ok. He was playing with Dak in 2019 vs pats and eaglets in 2019 when the division was on the line. He ghosted. I’m not saying Coop is bad. Just saying he disappears at bad moments in a season. He can’t catch passes from Dalton? He caught 6 for 121 the week before…from Dalton.

Good TakeThey won't be irradiated when he's catching 90 balls for 1,200 yards.
Cooper is one of my least worried about Cowboys.
AgreedCooper had feet problems.
The only way to handle that is to limit his route running.
He runs routes like they are life or death and it is best to keep him off those feet as much as possible.
It may frustrate people and it may effect how you view Gallup going forward (could move on from Cooper in 12 months for instance and keep Gallup) BUT it is very likely that resting Cooper in training camp is smart.
My boy who is a die-hard Raiders fan, when they traded Cooper to us, was basically like, you just got the man, he’s that good. I’m not really sure how accurate it is that Raiders fans that actually know didn’t like him.
Here’s the thing- You don’t need to convince me that Coop’s great. I’m not arguing that Cooper isn’t a great receiver- he is. I’m not saying I wish we didn’t have him. I’m glad he’s here. My points about Cooper are:- and i remember that nutty ex-WR coach we had in 2019 (Sanjay Lai ?) ,,that benched Both a healthy Cooper and Randall Cobb, in the most crucial game of the season vs Philly, and crucial drive of that season ...so what was up with that ..??
- and i'm assuming the 6 for 121 yd game you're referring to is the Philly game played here in 2020 (the jalen hurt game) .. but you're also forgetting how Doug Pederson played some
super-scrub CB Michael Jacquet’ in that game that Philly coaches apparently were so insisted on playing Jacquet vs Cowboys WRs majority of the game, before they finally awaken and
benched Jacquet.

So, again, I’m not here to argue that Coop’s not a great receiver. He certainly is. It’s just that having him here has not translated into much team success.
- He has had a tendency to disappear in big games.
- Other than the last half of 2018- having him has not translated into us being way better as a team. That’s not his fault. Just true.
- Since Cooper trade, we are 21-20, won one WC playoff game, and missed the playoffs 2 of the 3 seasons he’s been here. Just saying that other than the latter half of 2018, that hasn’t translated into a ton of team success.
- Again, this isn’t Coop’s fault, but we are spending 25% of our cap space at WR and RB. That’s not wise IMO.
